Default Are OLC and Contest Soaring really that different?

Exactly my point...


Why are OLC pilots somehow targets? *Wow....


Hey Sean,

Having some good fun at your expense. You have to know the characters involved to understand the pictures and especially the comments. * Bobby Templin and I have spent literally 100 hours together over the last few months working on a refinish project for our club Grob. * I have the utmost respect for him, his flying, his intellect, and his contributions to our club and the sport (okay, maybe not for his choice of beer). * The idea for this picture came up after a long afternoon of wet sanding while sitting around the wood stove yesterday with a group of the guys from Aero Club Albatross.

Picking on you was just keeping the gag going.

I thought the humor was self-evident. * Sometimes, humor doesn't parse well over the Web I guess...

Sincerely,
P3


I wondered about all that dust around his face...............now I
know!

Are you sure he flies the rattiest LS-3 around? My buddy Ron Clark
flies an LS-3 that might give Bob some competition, Ron's LS-3, while
not even a 6 footer, regularly kicks our butt on the OLC up here in
Washington.

I'd be willing to bet a 30 pack of Bush Beer on it! (think aluminum gear doors pounded out a few dozen times after landouts, black duct-tape, surface finish approximating a dry lake bed - you get the picture). Maybe the secret to being at the top of the OLC is to fly a ratty LS3?
